Cequence Security has launched the Cequence AI Gateway, an innovative solution aimed at enabling enterprises to optimise AI productivity while maintaining robust security. This new gateway is pivotal in connecting AI agents with enterprise-level applications, ensuring controlled and secure interactions.

With the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), companies have struggled to find a reliable method to integrate AI safely and at scale. The AI Gateway addresses this need by effortlessly linking AI agents and enterprise APIs using standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It further enforces policies that safeguard data and ensure AI operates within specified parameters.

A critical concern for Chief Information Security Officers has been the challenge of secure AI access without significant upskilling requirements. The Cequence AI Gateway promises to mitigate these concerns by preventing the need for one-off insecure solutions, instead offering a scalable, enterprise-grade platform that assures security and enhances Return on Investment (ROI).

Cequence says the advantages of AI Gateway are

1. Your AI Easy Button: Facilitates seamless integration by converting APIs into MCP-compatible endpoints without extensive coding or testing.
2. End-to-End Security: Utilizes OAuth 2.0 for secure identity-based access, seamlessly integrating into existing Identity Providers (IdP).
3. Comprehensive Monitoring: Offers real-time visibility into AI and API interactions, allowing detailed tracking and audit capabilities.
4. Enterprise-Ready: Designed with enterprises in mind with discrete production modes and effortless infrastructure integration.

The current market sees vast usage of Cequence's Unified API Protection platform by leading global organisations, highlighting its effectiveness in preventing AI-driven security issues. By unifying this platform with the AI Gateway, Cequence enhances the ability to detect and thwart potential agent-related risks.

Amir Sarhangi, CEO at Skyfire, hailed the AI Gateway as "critical infrastructure" that makes secure AI integration scalable and compliant, offering AI agents essential functions like verified identity and instant monetisation.

Early adopters have applauded the AI Gateway, pointing out its immediate benefits in simplifying customer interactions and improving response times. One enterprise noted a shift from being "stalled" to "operational" within 48 hours using this solution.

As Cequence Security continues to lead in API and AI integration, the launch of the AI Gateway signifies their commitment to pioneering solutions that prioritise security without stifling innovation. The solution's design reflects their understanding of API interactions, a testament to their expertise in handling automated intelligence responsibly.
